Harmful algae isn’t just a problem for high-profile bodies of water – it poses serious, toxic threats in small ponds and lakes as well, new research has found.

In the ocean, a little bit of metal can go a long way.

Canada's boreal region faces bigger, hotter and more frequent wildfires that are increasingly unpredictable, but lacks an investment in fire science that could help keep communities safe.

Wildfires have caused nearly a quarter of all permafrost thaw—2,000 square kilometres—in Western Canada’s boreal peatlands over the past 30 years, according to a new University of Alberta study.

Man-made structures such as oil platforms can help protect sea creatures threatened by climate change and habitat loss, a study suggests.

The study also shows that residential proximity to agricultural areas is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer.

Study tracked how species in Southern California fared during historic drought from 2012-2015.

A new, comprehensive survey led by USC scientists shows the Southern California coast harbors some of the world’s highest concentrations of an algal toxin dangerous to wildlife and people who eat local seafood.

A new genetic analysis of invasive pythons captured across South Florida finds the big constrictors are closely related to one another.

In recent decades, scientists have noted a surge in Arctic plant growth as a symptom of climate change. But without observations showing exactly when and where vegetation has bloomed as the world’s coldest areas warm, it’s difficult to predict how vegetation will respond to future warming. Now, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and UC Berkeley have developed a new approach that may paint a more accurate picture of Arctic vegetation and our climate’s recent past – and future.
